Compared to the previous year, the population has regained more confidence in the Swiss pension system. According to the "Raiffeisen Pension Barometer", this is also thanks to the vote on the AHV reform.
"In the wake of the vote on the 13th AHV pension, the Swiss population has become more informed about the topic of pensions and has developed greater trust in the pension system," Raiffeisen announced at a media conference on Thursday.
Specifically, the overall barometer score has increased by 46 points compared to 2023 and now stands at 660 points. Four indicators are evaluated: "Commitment", "Knowledge" and "Trust" in relation to the pension system are determined in the survey. Together with a technical assessment of the fourth indicator "economic result" by the Raiffeisen experts, this results in the overall barometer score.
"The confidence indicator has increased the most," the report continues. The Raiffeisen economists attribute this to the adoption of the 13th AHV pension, which has strengthened older people's confidence in the AHV in particular.
But knowledge about the pension system has also developed positively as a result of the public's engagement with the referendum proposals. "As a result, people have taken a closer look at pension issues."
